I use lots of ebony for making my inlaybandings.
Please let me know where you are finding ebony at $48 per BF and I will go there. Ebony is now retailing for well over $100 a BF and to find an unsplit piece at 5” x 50 will-be near impossible, and carry a premium. World Timber Corp is your best bet. west Penn hardwoods may have something, but you will not get it there for under $300. Matt...
Klingspors in Cary had some 5" wide ebony but it was too short (42-44"), and I didn't ask where it was from. It was $110/bf if I remember correctly.
